Yep. I’ve been waiting on my winch tray for months. The site said nothing about it being out of stock when I ordered it last year. Kinda bummed because I would have just bought a Dissent if I knew the wait time was going to be the same.

Hey man - any update on this? Did you end up DIYing a wind fairing? I inadvertently ended up with the same rack setup pretty much, and wanted to check in! I’m in the ‘too scared to mess up measuring where to drill the side rails’ phase right now.

it's a scam. I had contacted him when it was a Facebook ad and he deleted it after scheduling a meeting time. The same car is listed in Orange County also. So one of them is a scam haha. I ended up going with the no rust for $6500. Much more clear maintenance records, and the seller seemed less...

I didn't see the rest of this - THAT'S HOW I FEEL. I'm like, at this price point I still trust that I will come around the same if not UNDER what I would find if I waited around for the "perfect" one. Thanks again for your reassurance. Hoping when I get under her tomorrow it's not too bad.

Here's a picture of them both for comparison.

The tight-wad in me would rather drop money on a lift with better suspension than the paint, and I think with the type of buyer base the LC has, that's the smarter way to go But man I love that grey and wish it was as pristine as the black 03. I'm more function over fashion, and at this point...

Ah, 100%. My thought process was, once the bushings inevitably go, I make it an excuse to lift a bit. Once these tires go, I can put some nice ATs on. I figure all-in for a dependable DD I'll come in around 10k-ish. And I'd be happy with that. But you think the 2000 with 200k miles looking like...

If it's just a regular treatment when I see it tomorrow, that should be better? After reverse license plate searching, I see it came from Ohio, then was brought to Georgia in '17, then here in Colorado shortly after. I think the rust may be from the previous owner. I think where I'm torn, is...

So I just went to look at a 2000 LC today. $7k listing. AZ for the first 16 years, Denver for the last 4. 200k miles, no rust (except one small part of the tailgate), but the clear coat is pretty much non-existent, a nice brick side swipe scratch along the side, and various other cosmetic flaws...
